Re: sudo and su support

ya, in my own case, I'll probably end up running a full scan on a box where
I have sudo on everything and log what commands it needs, then go back and
make a sudo config for those boxes, rather than use the su option.

fortunately, it's largely a non-issue for us... I can work around it :) It
was mostly a question to see if it was in the path or not, as I could
actually see a use for it.
